Did you buy those in Melbourne or from the Internet? I wouldn't mind knowing the supplier.

Saturday fishing report

I went to one of my favourite lakes yesterday and fished the eastern shore with the wind smacking right into me and my mate MadDog. This was a deliberate attempt to see if casting lures into a chopped up water surface on a dull day would see the fish biting more aggressively. I also had a bait rod w...

Re: Is Trout Fishing Lakes Worse In Winter?

I have been using lures but am going to switch to bait and lures. I will walk around the lake and try bait fishing whilst spinning in the immediate area. After 45 minutes or so I will move spots. I think that should cover most bases. I realise spinning is best in windy weather or late/early in the d...

Re: Is Trout Fishing Lakes Worse In Winter?

A big issue in that article that jolted my memory is whether the temperature is falling, as it has been, in the last few weeks. I need to buy a thermometer to see what's going on in my favourite lakes.

Is Trout Fishing Lakes Worse In Winter?

I have been chatting with a few mates who fish lakes right throughout the year. And after three or so years of fishing regularly they have come to the conclusion that fishing lakes for trout in this part of the world just doesn’t seem as productive in winter. Lakes I am talking about are mainly in t...

Re: Lauriston and Upper Coliban on Saturday

In Lauriston I have seen tons of roach surface feeding in summer and caught them on fly. There's also plenty of runted reddies in the place but in winter I think these small fish all go to sleep. I wonder whether they are easy or difficult for the trout to feed on in winter? I will have to go scuba ...

Lauriston and Upper Coliban on Saturday

On Saturday I slept in but by midday I decided it was time for a fish so I headed up to Lauriston. I cast a Jaz 4-gram vibe around the dam wall and then around the most western parts of the lake in the lovely treed shores. I got a take from a small trout and saw a midging trout that I probably spook...

Re: Carp Virus

Humans are a virus inttroduced into Australia and look at the damage we have done. Devastated most of the country :rofl:

Re: Photo of Dead Murray Cod – bad PR?

I dont think photo's like that will do you much good. Catch and release is becoming more popular, along with release photos/videos. A club that demonstrates it's modern in it's thinking, and is keen to learn/teach the current trends, will attract more interest than one that doesn't. So if you're do...

Photo of Dead Murray Cod – bad PR?

Our club has fishing competitions where it’s allowed to kill fish. And in a recent competition the following photo was posted on our website: http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w483/PedroArvy/89a7060d-b946-45a9-a3f0-558980f01d04.png Personally, I am against the killing of any Murray Cod. Although i...
